This winter Tignes<\/a> will open the new six-seater Aiguille Perc\u00e9e chairlift, representing a major upgrade on access to one of the most iconic peaks of the French Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The older fixed-grip quad chair has now been removed and replaced by the new Aiguille Perc\u00e9e chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a high-speed detachable lift which will travel at six metres per second with a capacity of 2800 skiers per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built by Poma, the fast chairlift will also have heated seats and wind-protection making it a smoother, more enjoyable ride \u2014 even on the coldest, windiest days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aiguille Perc\u00e9e lift represents the final phase in a two-year modernisation of the lift system in the Tignes le Lac and Tignes les Br\u00e9vi\u00e8res sectors, following the replacement of the nearby Marais chairlift last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, these projects mark the completion of a network overhaul that significantly reduces wait times and streamlines access across the south-facing terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aiguille Perc\u00e9e is famous for its dramatic rock arch and breathtaking views over the Vanoise National Park and is among Tignes\u2019 most photographed spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most famously, it featured in a viral video by freeride pioneer Candide Thovex, who flew through it his trademark, gravity-defying style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
